The New Club, Brighton

Last week we ran away to the seaside… well a slow drive to be honest with all the 50 mph roadworks on the M1 and then the car park that is the M25 around Heathrow even with the new managed motorway system!

We went to visit our friends who moved to Hove from Leeds last year. There is something about the sea air down there it just relaxes you as soon as you get out of the car which makes it hard to come back home!

Saturday evening we were booked in for a meal at The New Club. A great little diner with craft beer, cocktails and good honest food which has an excellent location on the front just into Brighton… Hove and Brighton sort of mingle into each other although there is a clear difference between the two with peace and calm in Hove and an ‘anything goes’ theme in Brighton!

A little bit cramped inside with tables and chairs all very close to each other and the toilets were downstairs.

My friend had been talking about the Southern Fried Chicken burger all day and we were all disappointed to find they’d altered their menu and this was no longer a choice… having to think isn’t always good so a cocktail was needed while we perused the food on offer.

I had a Cherry Cola Bottle… oh.. my.. word… tasted of pure heaven and I can definitely recommend.

No prize for guessing I ordered the Dirty Burger along with some fries. Blooming delicious. The brioche bun was a perfect size for the burger and didn’t go all floppy. I asked for my burger well done as they usually cook medium rare. Oh my just looking at the photo I’m craving a burger and it’s only breakfast time as I write my blog… mmmm burgers…
